LETTERS 70 THE EDITOR.

The Salvation Army.

WHY I LEFT INDIA, Six,g-lhere have been several reports in circulation as to the cause of my leaving the Salvation Army work in India, and

wishing to set asile any false opinions on

the matter, P have written the following eXplapation, hoping you may give it a place in your paper.

During* the last summer a contingent of Salvation Army oflicers from England and India, namely, Colonel and» Mrs. Dowdle (Euglish); Major ». « Bhai, Lieutenants Deva Sepa, Horatula and Muthabaranum (Ilindoys), . visited Canada, travelling the Provinces of Nova Scotia, New Bruns- wick, P. E. Island, (Juebec and Ontario. About the first of September last they held a series ot meetings in Charlottetown. While ia this place Commissioner Coombs,

‘thé leader ofthe party, announced that | (then & captain in charge of the S A. work in Trarc, N. 8.), had beenfdrafted for the indian field; and with the party of Hindoos there, would, in a short time, sail forjthat fat d® land. As | had once been a citizen and #member of the army in Charlotte- towd, in his “appeal for money he urged this asa strong reason why they should, without hesitation, pay my passage out to that country. The result was large collec- tion’ taken up at each appeal.

| "hey then came to Summerside, and re- minding the large audience attracted by the presepce of the Hindovs, that I wasa ‘native of their town, and going to India, fused this asanother means of reaching the !poekets of the people.

| It isespecially to those who contributed \towards paying my passage that I write these lines.

in reply to the question as to why I went to India and returned after only after a five | months’ sojourn in the country, | answer : | dhe representative of India (Musa Bhai) said : India was under deep conviction of 'siu, and warmed to be pointed to the Sav-

ioar. Though the churches had been work- jing among the people for about one hun- dyed years, in this they had been a failure; atid, if they had aot been a hindrance, cer- tainly little or nothing was doue to bring

bout the satyation of his countrymen.

wpe of India. That, through adopting the wearing of the native dress, eating native ‘food, and living like the people, Commis- lsioner Tucker with five others, seven years ‘ago, saw three thousand heathens profes ‘conversion in the short space of six month§ and that the Army had been increasing more rapidly each successive year since then, till it had pushed itself to the head of ail other missionary societies in the coun- try. As he made no statement of the num- ber of members in the Army in India, we

What did we find in India ¢

That the Army does not reach all castes

were lead to believe that there must be at |

the poorest passage to be had, they take saloon or first-class berths, and their way of living in Bombay is on the same lines. One of the things I have heard cause much discontent among the field officers in Bom- bay was the order, issued by the Commis- sioners, commanding all officers, after their meeting were over, to be in attendance at the Sunday night meetings led by them- selves. Most of these poor officers were fully five miles distant from the place of said meetings, and being forbidden to pay their fare on the horse cars, were compelled to walk the round trip (10 miles) on their bare fees, while the Commissioners had a special cab before and after each meeting to drive them one half mile to and from their residence.

About two hundred and fifty officers from abroad were sent to India; but little more than half that number were remaining at the time of our arrival, and during the fol- lowing tive months 15 more left the ranks, not counting the many who died through exposure and the lack of proper food. The food of most field officers, in sickness as well as health, is currie and rice in the morning, the same at noon, and dry bread and water'at night. Being myself one of the headquarters staff, also gave me the knowledge that much better food is used by them than those in the field work.

But, some may ask, ‘* Was there not about $10,000 collected for the work in India? and ought this not to insure a bet- ter state of affairs?” Tis true it should, if it reached India; but, though it left Canada, it got no farther thar London, Eng. Not one cent of it was ever received in India ; so the second in command (Chief Secretary Major Lampard) informed me !

Unlike other missions, the Army takes people with very poor educations, gives them one or two lessons (sometimes none at all) in the language of the people they are to work amongst, then they are sent to teach the natives. As well might a Ger- man or an Italian, knowing but one or two words of English, try to teach in one of the schools of Charlottetown. Such is the Army’s mode of evangelizing India ; and is it any wonder if, through this alone, they make an almost complete failure /

(Of their converts -—one is asked, ‘‘Who is the great head of the Salvation Army /” The answer, from Army teaching, is, ‘*God um Heaven, General Booth m England, and Commissioner Tucker in India.” God guides the General, and he in turn gives the inspired instruction to the whole or- ganization throughout the world.

Not believing in baptism, the followers they get will be Christians (/) who do not believe in the words of their Leader, who gave his apostles (first S. A. officers, con- verts are told) the command to ‘teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the

Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy 'Ghost.” In Canada this is not so bad, as | most all their converts have been baptized 'or know the Word of God ; but there they

never hear from them of Baptism; and if

| they ever read a Bible the chances are it is General Booth’s mutilated one which is tixed vy» to suit Salvationists.

In conelusion, I might say, the reason

there, and that Musa Bhai was not a high-| why Canadians do not hear of the true state easte Tamil, as he called himself in Can-' of affairs in that far-off land, is because, be- ada, but one of the lowest grade in the’ fore leaving Canada, Commissioner Coombs Madras Presidency.

jing this was a great surprise to me, and {completely upset the story that everything but the Army was a failure.

Wearing the native dress, eating native food, etc., instead of being, as we were told, a means of bringingthe Hindoo nearer ‘Christianity, is an incentive in the opposite ' direction. The Brahmin conside1s his Gress,

ing the head, ete., part of his religion ; and adopting these customs, as the Salvation Army has done, he will tell you, is to ad- mit his god’s syste better than the Chris- tian’s. For them ‘o dress in a half nude \fashion has a very demoralizing effect, as has been proved in the case of several ‘oflicers at present in the ranks in India. ‘Trying to live like natives has no drawing ‘power to bring them into closer union with

the people, for let an Englishman do what he will he is looked upon as sugh, a great deal more than we would a Hindoo in Canada. ;

It was also a great saving of money, we were told, to live like natives. In this re- spect they are indeed ‘* penny wise and pound fvolish,” for while much may be saved by the dress and eating poor food, ten times such saving is spent in extra sickness arising therefrom. For instance, I have known thirteen officers to be sick in Bombay city slone at one time. Also, nine of the Canadians were very ill, four of whom had to be seut to the hospital since their arrival.

Musa Bhai’s great praise of the self- sacriticing of Commissioner and Mrs. Tucker (formerly Miss Booth) is not im harmony with facts; for while all officers going to

fortune. And it is lucky for most.of us that there is no building inspector around.

Fame is nothing more than the enjoy- ment of being abused to your face now, and being. praised behind your back some hundred years hence.

There are two things needed in these days; first, for rich men to find out how poor men live; and, second, for poor men ito know how the rich men work.

| Itis a great deal better to live a holy life than to talk about it. Lighthouses do not ring bells and fire cannon fo call attention to their shining—they just shine.—D. L. Moody.

Only the few favored by fortune can scale the rock of fame; but there is plenty _of other work to be done by the multitude, {ss good and true in its own way if not so enduring.

Of all charities mere money giving is the least; sympathy, kind words, gentle judg- ments, a friendly pressure of weary hands, an encouraging smile, will frequently out- weigh a mint of coins.

In England young men speak of their father as “‘the governor,” ‘‘pater,” ‘‘the overseer,” &c. In America theysay ‘‘dad,” ‘*the boss,” or “‘the old man.” In heathen countries tly say “father,” but they are a long way be “.nd the age.

Old age has its privileges. It is a blessed thing to grow old and be respected, and honored and humored. The very old and the very young are the light and the hope of the world. The dignity and wisdom of

age and the innocence of childhood are the best features of life.

Lonpon, July 31.—Wm., O'Brien, M.P., has applied for a new trial in his libel suit against Lord Salisbury for slander.

Arpens, July 31.—Cretan Mussulmans |having burn over 100 houses in a village ‘near Canea, ile insurgent leaders have ap- pealed to Greece for assistance,

YoxouaMa, July 30.—Thirty persons were killed and 5 J injured by the recent earthquake on tie Island of Kiousiou.

Quesec, July $1.—When Cure Labelle was appointed deputy minister of agricul- ture by Mercier it was thought to be a great move on the part of the ministry, as the rev. gentleman was much esteemed throughout the province. Since then the government have been trading on the priest’s popularity, and now Archbishop Fabre, of Montreal, has ordered Rev. Fr. Labelle to abandon his position and go back to his parish,

Rome, July 31.—The diocese of Kings- ton, Canada, has been created a nhew pro- vince and detached from the jurisdiction ol the Archbishop of Toronto. The province will be divided into three dioceses. The bishops of two of these dioceses and the Bishop of Peterborough will be sufragans to the Bishop of Kingston. The decree uvaking these changes states it is due to the -nutable progress of Catholicism in Kings- ton.

Montreal, July 31.—The following is 4 special cable to the Gazette from London : ‘*The probable change of the mail contract from the Allen to the Orient Line is at- tracting much attention in Ireland, and Justin McCarthy intends to raise a ques- tion in the House of Commons especially with relation to [rish intercourse with Can- ada, which he alleges will be cut offtoa considerable extent by the new service, which starts from the south of Ireland. He also intends to urge that the new service calling at a French “port, together with French export bounties, will give French manufacturers in Canadian markets an un- fair advantaye over British manufacturers, who have to export goods from Giasgew and Liverpool by unsubsidized steamers and without the other advantages.

Lonpos, July 29.—The anonymous article on the Papacy in the Contemporary Review for August, creates a decided sen- sation here. The writer throws a flood of light ipon the purpose of the recent secret consistory at Rome, regarding which specu- lation has been rampant, and his state- meuts on this point are equally sensational. He asserts that the Pope at this consistory declared to the Cardinals that he had re- ceived an autograph letter from Emperor Francis Joseph of Austria, offering him an asylum in case it should become necessary for Austria to notify Italy that the latter's forcible seisure of the papal palaces was re- garded by Austria as a causus belli. The Pall Mall Gazette to-day comments upon this article at Jength, referring to the writer’s evident conviction that an English- speaking Pope must be elected’ to succeed Leo XILL, ‘If either Cardinal Gibbons or Cardinal Manning is elected the church will be in a position to make a gallant attempt to reconquer the world, but the leadership of mankind is beyond the realm of an Italian pre-vecupied with grievances over the Italian domain.”

Monrreat, July 31.—9Oue of the sailors of the bark Thomas E. Marshall was struck suddenly blind last evening, shortly after the arrivalof the vessel in port, and the captain had bim immediately conveyed to the Notre Dame hospital. During the course of the evening several other sailors on board complained of dizziness in the head, but they considered it was due to over-exertion during the day, and that they would sleep it off. This morning the cap-

men had lost their sight, and on hastening to the forecastle he found fuur of the hands, named Frederick Norfelt, A. Mulgulfnoff, E. Manfough and CU. Lenerson, in a great state of excitement, and pleading to be taken toa physician. They were hurried off to the Notre Dame hospital, and owing to the guod treatment received to-day they are recovering their sight slowly. The case is a remarkable one and cannot be accounted for, though one theory of the physicians is that as the ship has just come from the Phillipine Islands the sudden change from the excessive heat toa colder climate would cause a blindness for some days. Again, eating an over-quantity of salt pork might account for it, but the eap- tain claims that they did not use very much. - ——-.. <p>- «fe.

Orwell Notes.

The farmers in this locality are elmost through with their hay—although the weather has been very untavorable,

Mr. Dougald McDonald has erected a very handsome house, the workmanship of which was carried on by Mr. D. A. Mar- tin, is deserving of great credit.

Some of our young ladies have just re- turned from the «ity, where they have been visiting for a few weeks.

Our school is progressing favorably under the able management of Mr. Chas. Gillis, although he has some very obstroperous scholars.

Orwell, Aug. 1. 1889.

Finish Your Work. — Always finish work that you begin.. One thing finished is worth a hundred half done. The com- pletion of an undertaking yields more pleasure and profit than dozens of plans. The man who is always plannivg and schem- ing is rarely, if ever, successful. He often furnishes ideas for others, who go persist- ently to work and finish what his ideas suggested. ‘That was my idea—my plan,” we frequenily hear some vne say; ut the man who carried it out was the one who benefitted himself and others. Do nut be- gin what you cannot finish, What you un- dertake to do, do, and reap the reward of o @r own ideas and skill.
